Coaches,

A few last minute reminders regarding our meet tomorrow.

PLEASE remind both your team and spectators to stay off the greens and tee box areas! This has been a point of emphasis with the golf course and I would like to respect their wishes so that we are able to come back in the future.

Team camps may be set up on the driving range. We also ask that you make sure the area is completely cleaned up when you leave as there will be another meet the next day on the same course.

Also please communicate with your fans one more time that no dogs are allowed on the course. Not only can they possibly make a mess on the course, but they can be a liability issue if the dog were to bite someone. If a person does bring a dog out on the course, they will be asked to remove the dog or leave the premises.

Medals will be given to the top 21 in each division race along with 2 team plaques (both MS and HS races). We will hand out the medals in the finish chute and trophies soon after. Remind the athletes that they need to continue moving through the chute if they wish to receive their medal!

No athletes are allowed in the clubhouse or restaurant! There are port-o-johns provided for their use.

The course is a double flagged alley/lane all the way around with three different color flags indicating the mile points of the race. Course maps will be provided when you arrive. However, here is a link to the HS course map if you wish to see the layout of the course: https://www.classdxc.org/course-map.html Unfortunately, I don’t have a link to the MS course map as this is new for this venue.

We understand that parking may be an issue. Please be patient with the situation and remind spectators that they may have to do some walking from where they park. Again, we must accommodate the wishes of the venue given that Friday night is a time of big business for their restaurant.

Looking forward to hosting you tomorrow! Safe travels!

Coaches,

Given the difficulty of finding a new, permanent course to hold the volume of athletes and teams for this meet, I wanted to go over a few things regarding the Scottie Classic XC meet coming up on October 19th.

In case you were not aware, the meet is being held at Maple Creek Golf Coursein Shepherd, MI. The address is 8400 S. Genuine Rd. It is the same course that will be used the next day for the Class D State Championship Meet. Please be aware and inform your parents as well as others coming to watch that the golf course management has asked for the following things to be adhered to:

Not everyone will be allowed to park in the main parking lot, including team vans and buses. Team buses and vans may drop off equipment and athletes, but they will be directed by our team members of where to park along with the spectators. Spectators may also park along the road next to the golf course. It was requested by the golf course management that the main parking lot be somewhat open for restaurant customers that evening as Friday night is a big business night for them. Therefore, only spectators with handicap stickers showing will be allowed to park in the main parking lot.

Absolutely NO DOGS on the golf course!!! Please communicate this, several times if need be. If a person is caught with their dog, they will be asked to put the dog in the car or leave.

Remind both spectators and athletes to stay off the greens and tee boxes as well as out of the finish tent area.

There will be a designated area for team camps. Please set up in those areas. We will try to have someone available to direct you to those areas as well. However if you're not sure, please ask before setting up.

Since there is only 15 HS teams and 16 MS teams we have revised the schedule to allow everyone to race together. The revised time schedule will be as follows:

4:00pm-HS Boy’s Race

4:30pm-MS Boy’s Race

4:50pm-HS Girl’s Race

5:30pm-MS Girl’s Race

We will still separate the divisions for medal and trophy purposes like we have done before and hand out the medals in the finish chute.

Concessions will be provided by the golf course.

Also, we will have an open race following the MS girl’s race. There is no registration or awards. We will just start the clock, and their will be no results.

Finally when you leave if you could police the area and make sure all trash is picked up and disposed of properly, it would be greatly appreciated! Again, there is another meet on that same course the next day and we want to make sure they have a great experience as well.

If you have any other questions, please let myself or Gordie know. We are looking forward to having you on the 19th.

Best of luck and GO SCOTS!!!

Matt
